Hey all! Posting to let you know that the meet up at Frankford Hall was great! We added a few members willing to help our efforts. The next meet up will be scheduled tentatively Wednesday, June 5th at Evil Genius. Weather depending for the side yard so, maybe we can bring our pups! We're in the process of setting up a community meeting. We'll keep you posted as we know more! Keep talking and spreading the word to friends and neighbors. Keep up the good work everyone!

Hello all! It's been a little bit since an update has been posted. Spring market has been keeping me pretty busy. There is a meeting tonight at Hancock Park regarding the Rebuild initiative. Come out and let them know we want a dog run. We are not asking for money, just an ok from the city so that we can start raising funds for the park. The meeting starts at 7:30pm and goes until about 9pm.

If anyone knows the family on 2nd and Jefferson with the 2 Shepherd/Husky dogs, I think this is their dog. Please let them know! She was picked up a block away on 2nd and Master. I think she gets out sometimes.

This beauty came in on 3/1 from 19122. She was picked up at 2nd and Master St. Her shelter name is Diva Cream

Hello everyone! Another *sort of* update. I've been trying to get more information from Councilman Clark's office about the area needed for petition signatures to no avail. I called today to speak with one of the constituent affairs secretaries. She could not effectively answer my questions so she transferred me to Corey Bell, who was very helpful. I'll be submitting the letters of recommendation via email this weekend. He said that the councilman was "not opposed" to the park but we have some hoops to jump through still. There is a petition still at the park office for you to sign so, get over there and tell your neighbor to go sign as well. I don't want to say too much but, I'm doing everything I can. I'll keep you updated! In the meantime, if you want to write letters of recommendation, you can drop them off at the park office for me!

Hello everyone! I've received so many letters of recommendation from my fellow community members! Great work! But, there's more to be done! If anyone would like to help knock on doors around the park this week, I am available Wednesday-Friday early evening, weather depending, from 4:30-6:30, when people are arriving home from work. We need 70% of the people in the immediate area around the park to gain support from Councilman Clark!

Hello, everyone! I received an email from Venise Whitaker with Councilman Clark's office. She sent me a petition form and said that they will also need signatures from 70% of residents from the imminent area around the park to sign a petition for the dog park. I don't think this will be a problem! With this new information, and the fact that it will be very nice tomorrow and Saturday, would anyone be interested in canvasing with me and knocking on some doors to get signatures? We would need teams of 2, as no one should be canvasing alone. Please let me know if there is any interest. My thinking is between 4:30 and 6:30 tomorrow and afternoon on Saturday. Thank you!

Hi Guys! Can all of you write letters of recommendation for the park? We need to show community support when I present the proposal to the councilman for our district. Better yet, can you write a letter and have a neighbor write a letter as well? Comment on this post and I can reach out to you!
